Product Description
The example books published as part of the Numerical Recipes second edition series contain source programs that exercise and demonstrate all of the Numerical Recipes subroutines. Each example program contains comments and is prefaced by a short description of what it does. The books contain all of the old material from the original edition as well as new material from the second edition. They will be valuable for readers who wish to incorporate procedures and subroutines into their own source programs. They are available in both FORTRAN and C.

a very useful book for numerical problems
It's by far the most useful single book for my research that I've ever owned.
Its explanations are far better for getting scientists to understand the idea (like myself) than anything else I've read.
Most other literature are oversimplified undergraduate textbooks (not sufficient for the broad range of problems encountered in research science) or highly inappropriate advanced research works focused either on a single topic and often directed at other people who are creating and proving numerical mathematics instead of just using it.
Numerical Recipes is also good at exposing to the naive just what sorts of algorithms do exist "out there" that many people were previously unaware of.
Its programs are explicitly not designed to be bullet-proof high performance black boxes. Though I have not personally encountered a problem with them.
Still, I think that most people would be wiser LAPACK users after reading NR.
Another half for "Numerical Recipes in C"
If you just see Numerical Recipes ,you will annoy the exact usage of codes. It is the practical book for the usage of codes in "Numerical Recipes". For real world, this is more helpful than "Numerical Recipes".
